Weekly Quiz Competition
  • Question 1
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
    Can you tell what model each of ________ ?
  • Question 2
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

    _____ their final check, the astronauts boarded their spacecraft.
  • Question 3
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

    _____ his job, he is now unemployed.
    Solution

    Auxiliary verbs are also known as 'helping verbs'. They are used with the main verb to show the tense of the verb. The sentence is in past tense as the person is already unemployed. So, the blank in the given sentence would have something that has happened in the past. Use of options B and C which are 'To lose' and 'To be lost' respectively are grammatically incorrect. They both are in future tense.  Option D is ‘Losing’ which means losing something is in present tense. So, the best fit here is  option A 'Having lost'. 'Lost' is in past tense and the verb 'having' is used with it as a helping verb.

  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    Select the word or group of words you consider most appropriate for the blank space.
    He looks as if he _________ weary.
    Solution
    The sentence requires the inclusion of an auxiliary verb to be complete. Since the sentence is in the present tense, it is only natural that 'is' must be used. Hence option A is the correct answer.
    Options B and C are incorrect because they are not in the present tense.
    Option D is incorrect because 'are' is plural and the sentence is about a singular noun. 
  • Question 5
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.

    _____ a dancer myself, I have excellent posture.
  • Question 6
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with an appropriate modal that denotes necessity in a formal context:
    _______ he wait any longer?
    Solution
    Option A - 'Can' is used for possibility and ability, it can't be used for necessity. Thus option A is incorrect.
    Option B - 'Have' is used for possession and not for necessity. Thus option B is incorrect.
    Option D - 'Would' is used to explain possibility in the future with the past's point of view. Thus option D is incorrect.
    Option C - 'Need' explains the necessity and is used in a formal context as well. Thus option C is the correct answer.
    'Need' he wait any longer?
  • Question 7
    1 / -0
    Fill in the blank with the appropriate modal:

    He has lost your book and he ______ not tell you.
    Solution
    • Option B is the correct answer because 'dare' can mean 'challenge somebody’. With this meaning, it is a main verb and requires an object.
    Dare also means ‘to be brave enough or rude enough to do something’. With this meaning, it can be used as an ordinary main verb which can be followed by a 'to'-infinitive or an infinitive without 'to' as in this statement, so 'he dare not tell you' is correct which means he was being brave enough to not confess.
    • Option A is incorrect because 'need' means 'have need of, want or  require' ,it also means 'to be under a necessity or obligation to do something'. 
    In this case, 'need not tell you' means it's not necessary to tell the truth, which is wrong.
    • Option D stands the same explanation as for  'need' because 'must not tell' only means that it's not necessary to confess which is wrong. 
    • Option C is incorrect because 'he should not tell you' means the speaker suggests that the truth need not be told, which is wrong.
  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    Welcome to Ranor Baracks!
    You __1___ have your hair cut very short in the first month. 
    Solution

    We use modal verbs to show if we believe something is certain, probable or possible (or not). We also use modals to do things like talking about ability, asking permission making requests and offers, and so on.

    In the given sentence, option A is correct as it signifies necessity, compulsion and certainty. It fits in the context of a rule book given to new recruits.

    Option B and D are incorrect as they show that something is possible in the future, but not certain.

    Option C is incorrect because we use the modal 'can' to make general statements about what is possible.

    Before joining you __10___ have a medical check up.
    Solution
    Taking into account the context of the given passage, it can be inferred that the selected option is the correct answer. Seeing that it is from a rule-book, the correct modal is option A, must. It imposes compulsion required in the context. The modals of options B,C and D all aim at some kind of possibility, probability and free will to exercise their wishes, whereas the given context would requires compulsory action and thus, the use of the modal must is correct.

    shoes and buttons ___5___ be polished daily.
    Solution
    Option A is the correct answer because 'have to' is used to express a strong obligation, when we use 'have to' this usually means that some external circumstance makes the obligation necessary.
    option D is incorrect because we use 'could' to indicate that something is possibly true, or that it may possibly happen, but in this case, it is a necessity.
    Option B and C are incorrect because 'will' and 'shall' are used in a future tense with no defined time limit, whereas the rule clearly states that this rule must be followed with effect immediately.
